Description

Electrode plate spot welding and testing equipment

The present invention relates to a technical field of a lead storage battery processing apparatus, and particularly to a combination of an electrode plate welding mechanism and a detection mechanism of a battery.

Generally, the lead storage battery is designed such that a plurality of partitions are partitioned into a plurality of groove-shaped spaces inside the casing of the battery, and the inside of the groove-shaped space is filled with an electrolyte and a plate bundle composed of a plurality of plates is disposed. The plates in the slab are arranged in a staggered overlap in the order of positive and negative electrodes to form an electrical series.

The above-mentioned slabs are combined in a series by a suitable welding method. More specifically, the plate bundle can be held by a welding machine and spot welded to form an electrode plate. Since the lead storage battery has a plurality of groove-shaped spaces, and each of the groove-shaped spaces has a set of plate bundles to be welded and combined, the processing time required for a plurality of plate bundles by a welding machine is long.

Secondly, if the solder joint after soldering is not strong, it is easy to cause the series relationship to be broken, thereby causing damage to the lead storage battery. Even if the welding position looks firm, the welding position may be an air gap, which is also easy because of the high current, which causes the welding position to be broken.

Generally, the soldered lead storage battery is moved to a testing machine for electrical detection of the welding position. However, the continuous removal of the lead storage battery undoubtedly causes inconvenience and time consuming production.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electrode plate spot welding and detecting device which has the advantages of being fast and time-saving.

In order to achieve the above objects and effects, the present invention discloses that a transport mechanism is disposed on a body for carrying and transporting a lead storage battery, and each lead storage battery is moved from an upstream position of the transport mechanism to a downstream position in a traveling direction. A plurality of welding mechanisms are mounted on the body, each welding mechanism is provided with a welding device, each welding device has a welding chuck, and the welding chuck is used for corresponding An electrode plate of the lead storage battery; a detecting mechanism having a detector and a plurality of detecting heads mounted on the detector, the detecting mechanism being disposed at an upstream position and/or a downstream position of the conveying mechanism, and a plurality of detecting heads for corresponding Electrode plates for lead storage batteries before and/or after welding. Such a plurality of welding mechanisms are arranged in a line shape, and the plurality of lead storage batteries can be synchronously and automatically displaced to change positions, and the welding mode and the detection mode in the form of a workstation can be provided, thereby achieving the advantages of fast processing and time saving.

The following is a description of the purpose, function and structural configuration of the present invention, and is described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 6 is a schematic view showing the configuration of the detection mechanism of the present invention at the upstream position of the transport mechanism.

Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention includes a transport mechanism 12 disposed on a body 10. The transport mechanism 12 is used to carry and transport the lead storage battery 14.

Next, the plurality of welding mechanisms 20 are attached to the body 10. Each welding mechanism 20 is provided with a welder 22, and each welder 22 has a welding collet 24. The welding chuck 24 is used to correspond to an electrode plate (not shown) of the lead storage battery 14.

Furthermore, the welding mechanism 20 includes a base 26, a lifting drive 28 and a plurality of guiding rods 30. The base 26 is mounted on the body 10, and the lift driver 28 and the guide rods 30 are connected to the base 26 and the welder 22.

Again, the present example includes a plurality of translation mechanisms 32, and each translation mechanism 32 is coupled to a welding mechanism 20, respectively.

The lift driver 28 and the guide rods 30 can drive the welder 22 and the welding head 24 for lifting displacement. The translation mechanism 32 can be used to adjust the position of the welding mechanism 20.

Secondly, each lead storage battery 14 is located upstream of the conveying mechanism 12 in the traveling direction. 12a moves to the downstream position 12b. A detection mechanism 40 is disposed at a downstream position 12b of the transport mechanism 12.

The detection mechanism 40 has a detector 42 on which a plurality of detection heads 44 are mounted. Furthermore, the detecting mechanism 40 further includes a detecting base 46, a lifting device 48 and a plurality of guiding rods 50. The detecting base 46 is mounted on the body 10. The lifting device 48 and the guide rods 50 are connected to the detecting base 46 and the detector 42. A further slip mechanism 52 incorporates the detection mechanism 40.

Thus, the combination of the lifting device 48 and the guide rods 50 can drive the combined lifting displacement of the detector 42 and the detecting head 44, and the sliding mechanism 52 can be used to adjust the position of the detecting mechanism 40; The detecting head 44 is used to correspond to the electrode plates of the lead-acid battery 14 after soldering.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the present invention is for performing electrode plate welding of the lead storage battery 14 by the transport mechanism 12 simultaneously carrying and transporting a plurality of lead storage batteries 14. In fact, each lead storage battery 14 can be placed one by one on the conveying mechanism 12 and displaced by the conveying mechanism 12.

When the first lead storage battery 14 is placed on the conveying mechanism 12 and corresponds to the first welding mechanism 20 positioned at the A position, the welder 22 of the first welding mechanism 20 and the welding chuck 24 can be lowered, and the welding The chuck 24 is used to sandwich an electrode plate (plate bundle) of the lead storage battery 14 for soldering.

With the transport of the transport mechanism 12, the aforementioned first lead storage battery 14 can be moved forward and corresponds to the second welding mechanism 20 at the B position. The second lead storage battery 14 can be positioned on the transport mechanism 12 and corresponds to the first welding mechanism 20 at the A position. The welding mechanism 20 of the A position and the B position can each weld the electrode plates of the lead storage battery 14 below it. It should be noted that the welding mechanism 20 of the A position and the B position corresponds to the electrode plates at different positions.

And so on, the welding mechanisms 20 of the five positions A, B, C, D, and E shown in the figure will eventually correspond to the electrode plates at different positions in the lead storage battery 14 at the same time, and are synchronously displaced downward to each The electrode plates of the lead storage battery 14 are welded. Further, after the lead storage battery 14 positioned at the E position is welded by the welding mechanism 20, the welding of all the electrode plates is completed. In this way, the processing speed and time saving effect can be achieved.

Please refer to FIG. 4, the electrode plate 18 of the lead storage battery 16 disclosed in the figure is configured. They are cross-shaped, but the spot welding mechanisms 20 and their arrangement disclosed in the present application are also applicable. The direction of the welding mechanism 20 can be adjusted as necessary, for example, the directions of the first welding mechanism 20 and the second welding mechanism 20 in the drawing are different to meet the needs of actual use. In this creation, the electrode plates can be welded to different types of lead storage batteries 16.

Referring to FIG. 5, the transport mechanism 12 can transport the soldered lead storage battery 14 to the downstream position 12b to correspond to the detecting mechanism 40. Then, the detector 42 and the detecting head 44 of the detecting mechanism 40 can be displaced downward, and the detecting head 44 contacts the electrode plate for detecting the welding quality.

Referring to Fig. 6, the creation mechanism 40 can be disposed at the upstream position 12a of the transport mechanism 12. The detecting mechanism 40 is configured to detect whether the electrode plates of the lead storage battery 14 are installed or have defects. If a bad condition is found, the lead storage battery 14 can be removed without welding the electrode plates. If there is no problem, the lead storage battery 14 can be moved to the welding mechanism 20 for electrode plate welding.

As can be seen from the description of FIGS. 5 and 6, it is known that one detection mechanism 40 can be disposed in each of the upstream position 12a and the downstream position 12b. However, the present invention can also be provided with a detecting mechanism 40 at both the upstream position 12a and the downstream position 12b of the transport mechanism 12, so that the electrode plate can be previously detected and the component quality can be detected, and the electrical quality after soldering can be detected. In addition, it is not necessary to move the lead storage battery 14 during the detection and welding process, so that the processing can be fast and time-saving.

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the techniques of the present invention and their effects, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can modify and change the above embodiments without violating the technical principles and spirit of this creation. Therefore, the scope of protection of this creation should be as listed in the patent application scope mentioned later. .
